[dcab-l] Woody & Dad Sing "Mele Kalikimaka"

Friends of Christmas 2024:

 

This is the 16th year my son Woody and I have recorded a Christmas Carol.

Others we've done in years past, and available on the link below:

 

2009 "Star of Bethlehem"

2010 "Silent Night"

2011 "Silver Bells"

2012 "Blue Christmas"

2013 "White Christmas"

2014 "Winter Wonderland"

2015 "The Friendly Beasts"

2016 "Away in a Manger"

2017 "The First Noel"

2018 "Jingle Bells" and "Santa Clause is Coming to Town"

2019 "Feliz Navidad" & "Holly Jolly Christmas"

2020 "Silent Night" & "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas"

2021 "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear" & Do You Hear What I Hear"

2022 "I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day"

2023 “What Child is This”

2024 “Mele Kalikimaka”

 

 

For 2024 we've recorded "Mele Kalikimaka".   Woody did the lead singing, ukulele,

slide guitar, glockenspiel, the recording and mixing;  Dad played the bass.

 

"Mele Kalikimaka" is Hawaiian-themed Christmas song written in 1949 by R. Alex

Anderson.  The song takes its title from the Hawaiian transliteration of "Merry Christmas".

The earliest recording of this song was by Bing Crosby & the Andrews Sisters in 1950 on

Decca, with Vic Schoen and His Orchestra, on September 7, 1950.  It has been covered

by many artists and used in several films including L.A. Confidential, Catch Me If You

Can, and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.

 

Please enjoy, and we wish everyone a Happy and Prosperous Holiday Season!

                                    Murder on the Mountain

 

            Murder on the mountain…      Hear the coyote screamin'

            Chilly winter winds are blowin' cold

            Found them both together…   Both were lyin' to me

            Now they lie together in their blood

 

But the rope is gettin' tighter, my neck it starts to hurt

Trap door is a'droppin',  I'm fallin' toward the dirt

My heart is breakin' in my chest, my breath is gettin' short

Jesus take me to your arms, my God it's gettin' dark!

 

            Murder on the mountain…      Fire all around them

            Burnin' like the cheatin' in their hearts

            Didn't hear me comin'…         Shot 'em with my rifle

            Now the pain of love won't let 'em part
